Abstract
A quantum mechanical equation of state for anharmonic polymer crystals was developed and used earlier to explain the extensive P-V-T data for polyethylene. In this paper we have analyzed the corresponding data of polypropylene and poly(butene-1) in terms of the same theoretical expression. The trends shown by the various characteristic parameters for the three polyolefins are interpreted in terms of their structure.Keywords
